A vehicle includes a plurality of walls defining a volume adapted to house passengers and/or merchandise and at least one electric battery pack to supply energy for the operation of the vehicle, said at least one electric battery pack being housed in a respective seat made in at least one of the walls and defining with the latter a housing volume comprising at least one cover configured to assume a first operating position in which the volume communicates with the outside environment and a second operating position in which the volume is isolated from the outside environment. The vehicle also includes a security system configured to enable the covers to move from the first operating position to the second operating position when a temperature of the electric battery pack and/or a temperature inside the volume exceed/s a pre-set threshold temperature value.

Vehicle provided with a security system for thermal runaway

A housing of vehicle lithium battery-modules, each battery-module having an evacuation opening and a parallelepipedal shape, where a plurality of horizontal plates are arranged inside the housing, parallel to each other, alternated with layers of the battery-modules, wherein each one of the horizontal plates is joined to perimetral surfaces of the housing to convey heat towards the external environment, wherein each battery-module is arranged so that the evacuation openings are vertically aligned, and wherein each one of the horizontal plates comprises corresponding openings equipped with appropriate gaskets on both the opposite faces of the horizontal plates, in order to define continuous and gastight evacuation channels between the battery-modules.

Housing of vehicle lithium battery-modules

Hybrid vehicle includes: an axle (FA, IA, RA); an internal combustion engine (CE); an auxiliary motor (AM); a torque distributor comprising a first transmission shaft () and a second transmission shaft () parallel to each other; and control means for controlling the torque distributor to switch to an electric traction mode by carrying out at least the following steps: acquisition of vehicle speed; and if the vehicle speed is non-zero, then selection of the most appropriate gear ratio among the at least two selectable gear ratios. The transmission shafts () include two opposite ends ((), ()) and rotating connection means () including at least two selectable gear ratios (). The second end () of the first transmission shaft () is operatively connected/connectable with the axle (FA, IA, RA), and one end () of the second transmission shaft () is operatively connected/connectable with the auxiliary motor.

The present invention describes a method for actuating the cruise control function in a vehicle equipped with hybrid driving, comprising at least a primary driving and an electric driving. The method comprises the steps of: &#x2014;cyclic check of the possibility of activation of the cruise control function; if positive&#x2014;activation of the electric driving of the type 'electric cruise-control' (ElCC), and deactivation of the primary driving, if a cyclic check of the conditions of activation of the electric driving is positive; otherwise&#x2014;activation of the primary driving of the type 'engine cruise-cruise control' (EnCC), and deactivation of the electric driving.
